Average rating3.6
It's said that women and men are from two different planets when it comes to communication, but how can they overcome the obstacles of prehistoric times when one of them simply doesn't have the ability to comprehend language? Ehd's a caveman living on his own in a harsh wilderness. He's strong and intelligent, but completely alone. When he finds a beautiful young woman in his pit trap, it's obvious to him that she is meant to be his mate. He doesn't know where she came from, she's wearing some pretty odd clothing, and she makes a lot of noises with her mouth that give him a headache. Still, he's determined to fulfill his purpose in life - provide for her, protect her, and put a baby in her. Elizabeth doesn't know where she is or exactly how she got there. She's confused and distressed by her predicament and there's a caveman hauling her back to his cave home. She's not at all interested in Ehd's primitive advances and she just can't seem to get him to listen, no matter what she tries, getting her point across to this primitive, but beautiful, man is a constant - and often hilarious - struggle.

This is a really interesting take on the narrative perspective for a time travel book.
I honestly thought it was going to either bounce between the two of them (like time travel books I've read tend to do) or be entirely from the perspective of the time traveler.
I'm glad this wasn't, it made for a really unique story experience to forgo the mandatory pages of ‘how'd I get here? how do I get back? do I even want to go back?' blather that can be so predictably boring. This was able to hit the same notes but not feel at all the same, and I appreciate that.
Whilst it did leave a few questions unanswered (and ask some questions I don't think there's an answer for) I don't really mind; good characters that feel real and don't turn into caricatures makes up for everything else.
Would recommend this to anyone who likes time travel romance, doesn't mind a more animalistic/primitive mindset to see the world from (a quite literal caveman) and is cool with basically no dialog between characters.
This book was okay. Very drawn out at times. There were some very beautifully emotional scenes that rugged at my heart though.
